Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems in large enterprise organizations face inefficiencies in accurately evaluating employee performance and competencies, as they often rely on self-evaluations and do not operate in real-time, failing to account for business unit needs and industry trends.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a machine learning-based system that captures user data in real-time or near real-time from various devices, analyzes keystroke and input data, and compares it with enterprise strategy and industry trend data to identify competency levels and resource gaps, enabling real-time resource allocation and action execution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If self-evaluations and self-reporting are used to evaluate employee performance, then the evaluation process is simple to implement, but the accuracy and objectivity of the evaluation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of evaluation implementationVSAvoidaccuracy of competency evaluation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual self-evaluation processes with an automated machine learning system that objectively measures employee competencies through analysis of work outputs, code repositories, and performance data, eliminating subjectivity while maintaining ease of implementation through automated data collection and processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables employees to self-manage their performance evaluations through automated tracking of their own work outputs and competencies, where the machine learning model continuously monitors and records employee performance data without requiring active participation in traditional evaluation processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If conventional evaluation systems are used, then the system complexity is low, but the real-time capability and responsiveness to business needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidreal-time evaluation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data collection and processing of employee performance metrics continuously in the background, so that when evaluation is needed, the data is already prepared and ready for immediate analysis, enabling real-time results without requiring complex real-time processing during evaluation moments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system dynamically adjusts its data collection and analysis processes based on business needs and available data, allowing the system to operate at varying levels of complexity depending on the evaluation scenario while maintaining real-time responsiveness through flexible processing capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If conventional systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but the ability to account for business unit needs and industry trends deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidadaptability to business needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning system is designed to handle multiple evaluation scenarios and business unit requirements through a single unified platform that can analyze different types of data, apply various evaluation models, and generate customized results for different organizational needs without requiring separate systems for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system adapts to different business needs by dynamically changing evaluation parameters, weightings, and analysis focus areas through machine learning models that can be reconfigured based on industry trends and organizational goals, allowing the same system structure to serve multiple adaptability requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Systems for optimized forecasting are provided. In some examples, data associated with strategy of one or more business units may be received. The strategy data may include identification of projects or goals. In some examples, industry trend data may be received and may include data associated with in-demand job skills and the like. An instruction to capture user data may be transmitted to one or more user devices of an employee user. The instruction may cause activation of one or more sensors or data capture devices. The captured user data may be received and analyzed to determine a competency of the user. Based on the strategy data, industry data and determined competency, one or more deficiencies between the resources needed to meet the business unit strategy data and the available resources may be identified. Based on the identified deficiency, one or more actions for execution may be identified and executed.
